Yep! With Steam Deck pushing more native game support, I hope we see more users get used to the Linux environment and increase the demand on the PC side for better support across all applications.

Another reason is that you are virtually guaranteed to find any application you need that supports Windows.

Holy fuck that’s hilarious. I’m definitely going to start slipping this into real life conversations with my ultra conservative family members.

The game console industry proved this was a viable business plan a couple of decades ago.

They probably realized it’s not profitable because 90% of a user’s visits are home, work, store… wash rinse repeat day in and day out. They can probably get more meaningful data from the person through their other various tracking methods.

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?

They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

a couple of owners decided to race their trucks

in this rather unscientific race

Did you even read the article? The author was very upfront about the context.

You’re the type of person that wants everyone to min/max everything and say “yeah but if this had happened” or “if they had done this differently”

Get down off your soapbox and appreciate this for what it was: two owners having a fun race for bragging rights. And if Ford comes out in a better light from it than Tesla, that’s not circle jerking over a brand, it’s just another anecdote to pile on top of all of the other stories about how piss poor the Cybertruck is at being an actual truck.

Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn’t a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

I see you’re describing a case-by-case basis, but I’m still failing to see how it’s case-by-case. /s

They think they own most of the guns because they’ve built a whole culture around it. What they don’t realize is there are plenty of non-Rs who own guns too as a hobby or protection, but their whole identity isn’t “I’m a gun owner” so they don’t go around hoopin’ and hollarin’ that they own guns.

I’ll be dead. They can have all of that.

We ultimately don’t know what is going to survive the digital revolution. I wonder what’s going to be lost to time and what historians and archeologists will be able to recover and view centuries or millennia in the future.

To the top with you! I see some opinions quoted, but yours is the right answer.

I’m ok with how Valve is doing things right now. If they followed the same path of EA, Blizzard, and every other big developer from the 90s/00s we’d be on HL5, L4D9 Left for Deadest, TF 3 but it’s a live service on season 15 and constant price increases on the season passes.

Let them experiment and dip their toes into new game types.

Oof

Ignoring the question about whether the cost is reasonable, it’s going to be interesting to see what happens to gas stations / convenience stores when the ability to charge your car is basically everywhere.

The only reason we need gas stations is for the specialized infrastructure required to safely hold the fuel. Mass EV adoption is going to kill their business model.

They dropped “do no evil” a while ago.
